LIGHT MANUFACTURING
The potential exists for creating synergies among design fields, creative industries and innovative manufacturing by putting these uses together in one hub. Pictured here is furniture manufacturing--a healthy subsector in New York--and its potential relationship to other programs.

Air rises through the atrium cooling the building interior.
Light enters through the skylight reduces artificial lighting needs.
Louvres on the southfacing windows offer passive shading.
The southern facade is angled to maximize solar gain to photovoltiacs.
